Daters Gonna Date

A very very short episode to say thanks to you all, goodbye to 2023 and Nicola is now manifesting a shift from the PW!

We finally made it to McGowans singles night after months of talking about it! So what was it like?

Well let's just say.. we never want to hear the recording in the middle again!!

And we answer some of your dilemmas at the end, keep them coming in X

Taking a break from our usual banter to discuss problems that women and men face- the dark side of relationships that some people struggle with alone.

Mary from Women's Aid dropped by to talk about the #TooIntoYou campaign, red flags, and what to do if you are worried about someone.

TW: We will discuss violence, emotional abuse and more.

For help, call Women's Aid on 1800 341 900 or visit toointoyou.ie or womensaid.ie

Men needing support can contact the Male Advice Line on 1800 816 588.

It's a mixed bag today, as the song goes, our 'love lives DOA!'

Roisin is going back on the apps, we're hitting the darts and Izzy goes under the DGD microscope in LIB- be aware, we discuss the reunion so there will be spoilers!!

TW: This episode discusses Russell Brand's accusations and Danny Masterson. We do discuss sexual assault in relation to this topic. Please skip if this will be too upsetting for you.

In this episode, we are ranting about a lot- the Podcast Awards, celeb pervs, as well as many other things.

We also hear from a listener about her goat fear and the lad who "doesn't bring cards on a date"

HMMMM

What happens when we get giddy on a Tuesday night and do the Mr& Mrs style quiz on each other?

Well as you will hear, we realise we know nothing about each other after 20 years of friendship 🤣

Nothing makes sense, we both like flats and have fears of cotton, ah lads. I can't even explain

Nothing like getting a text out of the blue from someone you used to know, but turns out we both got one!

As well as that, we hear about Caspar, Ro's date with Bad Bob and how Nicola went back to being 16!

All that and more..

Make sure to follow us on Spotify, Apple, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok!

Covid rules meant a lot of us started meeting for sober dates, but what is it like dating when you don't drink at all?

We caught up with two members of @BabesWithoutBeer and chatted to them about their journeys, both very different! Both as former drinkers we talking dating apps, dates themselves, sex and more!

Ah lads, sometimes these episodes are just too much to fit into a synopsis!

Nicola is meeting up with a lost love, while her date is there, and Ro is looking Ridey at Pridey... and much more

So for years, Roisin has been a Love Island lover. She loves the drama, the hook-ups and all that goes with it.

Nicola on the other hand hates it. Hates the constant skinniness being pushed, the lack of diversity and the fakeness.

They battle it out!

We stumbled across this Facebook page that asks, 'Are we dating the same guy?'

From red flags to tea, to secretly having a hape of girlfriends, is this the safe space women need in dating?

Roisin and Nicola take a deep dive

Ok gang, you loved the first reunion episode, now we pick up where that left off.

In the two weeks since the last episode, already there have been Paul Mescal wannabes, marriages and more, while we wrap up the other experiences we have had.

And afterwards, we want to hear from you!

We can't be the only ones struggling riiiiight??

Hey gang!

We are back together and so we are kicking it off as a new season!

Hear how Roisin has been getting on on the apps and how Nicola scored while she was away!

There has been so much happening that this reunion has to be split into a couple of episodes lads, so brace yourself.

We're talking saltiness, orgies, relationship rollercoasters, Syria and is Tinder the new Insta?

Find it all out here!

This week, Roisin catches up with Lulu, who has penned a book called Dating in Berlin.
